Review:
"Arguably, "Goldengrove" is her best book yet."--Seattle Times
"Francine Prose's new novel is a quiet, clear-eyed, sun-dappled eulogy to lost youth, and a youth lost. . . . [Prose is ] a keen chronicler of human emotion."--Elle
"With a dazzling mix of directness and metaphor, Prose captures the centrifugal and isolating force of grief...Prose exquisitely renders her characters' grief and bafflement."--Los Angeles Times
"Deeply touching and absorbing..."--Publishers Weekly
